Uploading Video Files (For Producers)

Rendering Your Videos for PegMedia Upload

In order for stations playing your video to have the best quality when broadcasting them, it's important to consider the parameters you use for rendering the video file from your editor.

For HD/MP4 files:

For HD files, resolution must be 1080P (1920x1080) or 720P (1280x720), NON-INTERLACED. 1080P is highly recommended. Generally 720P should be used for legacy footage which was shot at a lower resolution.

HD/MP4 rendering guidelines:

H.264 video progressive with AAC audio
File Extension: MP4

Audio Encoder

AAC, Stereo (L R), 48 kHz

Video Encoder

Width and Height: 1080P - 1920x1080 (preferred) or 720P - 1280x720

Bit Rate: 1080P 8-10 Mbps, 720P 8 Mbs
Codec: H264

If you are just going to render in HD and let PegMedia render the SD for you from the HD, you need to keep your titles and primary action within the "Title Safe" area. Most video editors have an option to set that outline on your rendering window for guidance.
